Welcome to a new release of the Faraday Vulnerability Management Platform
Faraday v5.18 focuses on improving performance at scale, integration control, and overall user experience, especially for teams managing large workspaces, complex vulnerability data, and multiple security tools.
This release is driven by direct customer feedback and real-world usage scenarios, delivering improvements that reduce friction in day-to-day vulnerability management and remediation workflows.
Let’s take a look at what’s new
Highlights
Improved Stability and Performance at Scale
Unlink issue trackers from vulnerabilities (Jira, GitLab, ServiceNow)
Plugin updates driven by customer usage (Nuclei, Tenable IO, Burp)
Improved Stability and Performance at Scale
This release introduces a new configuration option designed to protect the platform from oversize tasks that could impact system stability. Large imports, scans, or integrations can generate tasks that exceed queue limits and cause processing failures.
With Faraday v5.18, task size is now validated before entering processing queues, and oversize messages are blocked early, preventing interruptions and ensuring reliable workflow execution. Configuration details:
In addition, we addressed a critical performance issue affecting very large workspaces, including environments with hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities. Which caused noticeable delays, impacting analyst productivity.
These improvements directly benefit organizations security teams managing large attack surfaces, running large-scale vulnerability scans and complex vulnerability datasets reducing delays.
Tailored Control Over Issue Tracker Integrations
Faraday now allows administrators to unlink issue trackers from vulnerabilities, including Jira, GitLab, and ServiceNow.
This feature was implemented in response to a specific customer request and is especially useful when Integrations need to be cleaned up without losing vulnerability context.
Plugin Updates Driven by Real Customer Usage
These plugin updates reflect how Faraday is actually used in real-world vulnerability management workflows. Based on direct customer feedback and integration challenges, we’ve improved accuracy, stability, and compatibility across the tools security teams rely on every day.
Nuclei Integration
- Full support for Nuclei JSON v3.x
- Correct mapping of critical fields such as impact and remediation
- Ensures accurate vulnerability data ingestion from updated Nuclei scans
Tenable IO Integration
- Improved alignment with Tenable Nessus
- Reduces inconsistencies and duplicate findings when using multiple Tenable sources
- Simplifies vulnerability management for teams using both tools together
Burp Integration
- Fixed stability issues when importing XML reports
- Improved handling of large base64-encoded HTTP responses
Faraday v5.18 strengthens the platform’s ability to support modern vulnerability management programs, especially in environments with large datasets, multiple integrations, and complex remediation workflows.
